  • 0

I have an app that I am working on that is currently hosted on google App engine. It is written in python and went pretty smoothly until my requirements changed and google app engine would not let me do what I needed to do. Currently I am trying to find a way to host my code (python) and be able to make and accept http:// requests, and be able to edit/add files in the same directory as the python scripts are located (I need to store lots of files, and the blobstore is just weird).

If this is not possible, I would be happy with being able to run python scripts “in browser” like when testing with google app engine, just on my local machine (windows 7 64 bit).

Any help is appreciated

    Google’s App Engine supports WSGI , not CGI.

    You should be able to port your code to another stack that supports WSGI rather painlessly. There isn’t much custom google-specific stuff on there.

    Some popular frameworks that support WSGI include:

    • Pyramid
    • Tornado
    • CherryPy
    • bottle
    • flash
    • web.py
    • twisted

    There are lots more

    In terms of hosting:

    • Heroku can host Python WSGI apps
    • You can deploy on virtually any machine with uwsgi , apache’s mod_wsgi, or countless other wsgi servers
    • Most frameworks have their own server for local development
